Mary Dixon, oldest of 6 kids in a wacky family that hated animals. Go figure!

I have taught ceramics for kids in continuing ed at CSS, also.
These days I run his Thunderbeananimation.com cartoons on DVD business and my own porcelain jewelry and stoneware tile business MD Dogart, www.mddogart.com

I enjoy cooking, writing, singing, most music, animal behavior, natural health, fashion, mid-century-modern design, photo, drawing and claywork.
I am a BFA Drawing/Graphic Design Eastern MI University (1989) and have done free lance graphics and illustration for 18 years.
I love to go to foreign countries and smuggle back yummy stinky cheeses, chocolate and wine. |
